As a child or adolescent you might have
a lot of questions when you notice that your parents do not feel well or are
sick. When the problem is e.g. about depression or a family member is drinking
too much alcohol, this often becomes a secret in the family that nobody talks
about.

Your worries about what is going on with
your parents (sometimes this may be a mental illness of your mother or father)
can cause questions and probably frighten you. If you are a child and are also
depending on the care of your mom or dad things can be even more confusing. You
then may have a number of questions, such as "Why is my mom or dad this way?",
"Is my mom or dad actually ill?", "Will I become this way?"; and "Who will take
care of me if my mom or dad is sick?"

Don't give up asking!

Hello,

I am Aleksandra.
I am a doctor and I work with adults who suffer from mental illness.
I also work with their children.
Maybe you noticed at home that something might be the matter with your parents
or that they behave in a strange way. You might not ask them, what is going on,
or nobody gives you an answer.
Then please, write me your question.
I am here to answer your question personally and confidentially.
